Lemony Summertime Spinach

Spinach is one of the easiest vegetables to prepare. Even my pickiest friends enjoy it made this way. The garlicky lemon butter accents the spinach perfectly and honestly -- it's so good for you, what's not to love?




2 (10 ounce) bags pre-washed fresh spinach
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
5 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Rinse the spinach and place the leaves into a microwavable serving dish. Add the butter, garlic and lemon juice. Cover with plastic wrap. Steam in the microwave until the butter is melted and spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove the plastic wrap and toss to distribute seasoning before serving.
About 6 servings.
